Why This Race Matters

Every Step Builds a Lifeline of Hope

All proceeds from the ACCESS 5K Walk/Run go directly to the ACCESS Recovery Center — a 51,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art substance use disorder treatment facility opening in Dearborn this Fall 2026. This center will be a beacon of hope for individuals and families who have been impacted by addiction, offering a full continuum of care under one roof.

From withdrawal management and crisis stabilization to outpatient therapy, peer recovery coaching, and holistic wellness programs, the ACCESS Recovery Center will meet people where they are — regardless of their ability to pay. No one will be turned away.

Every registration, every dollar raised, and every step taken on June 27th brings us closer to opening those doors and transforming lives. Your participation is not just a race entry — it is a lifeline.
